Franklin BSP Realty Trust (FBRT) has underperformed compared to other mortgage REITs in 2026, primarily due to a dividend cut and weakness in its multifamily real estate holdings. Despite weaker profitability reported in Q1 2026, the company has used share repurchases to slightly increase its book value and plans to allocate an additional $50 million for buybacks. FBRT's significant discount to book value offers some protection against loan losses and potential for capital gains. The rise in risk-free interest rates has disproportionately affected the multifamily real estate sector, contributing to FBRT's challenges.
